The answer is ACDB.

Q21 is not a esay question, to answer this question, u should relocate to the line 16-51 of the passage, pay attention to the criteria and the depection about RGP:

the pueblo lands

(45) never formally constituted a part

of federal public lands; in any

event, no treaty, statute, or executive

order has ever designated

or withdrawn the pueblos from

(50) public lands as American Indian

reservations.

The answer of the logic is E, no chioce but D mentions about weather warming. before u answer this question, u should understand what is the conclusion of the passage, then rule out other choices according to the reasoning.

以下是引用leeon在2004-10-14 12:52:00的发言：

George: Some scientists say that global warming will occur because people are releasing large amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere by burning trees and fossil fuels. We can see, though, that the predicted warming is occurring already.(结论) In the middle of last winter, we had a month of springlike weather in our area, and this fall, because of unusually mild temperatures, the leaves on our town’s trees were three weeks late in turning color.

Which one of the following would it be most relevant to investigate in evaluating the conclusion of George’s argument?

(A) whether carbon dioxide is the only cause of global warming

(B) when leaves on the trees in the town usually change color

(C) what proportion of global emissions of carbon dioxide is due to the burning of trees by humans

(D) whether air pollution is causing some trees in the area to lose their leaves

(E) whether unusually warm weather is occurring elsewhere on the globe more frequently than before

想了半天，应该是E。George 的结论是 warming is occuring, 至于怎么引起的不关心。只要证明天气变暖就行了。所以C应该是无关的。我错把首句当成结论了。

看来，读题目时一定要分清论据与结论。第一句话算是引论吧。

50. 我忽然认为 thus 和 result in 放在一起有语义重复的嫌疑。

In the middle of last winter, we had a month of springlike weather in our area, and this fall, because of unusually mild temperatures, the leaves on our town’s trees were three weeks late in turning color.(evidence to support the conclusion and give an example to illustrate).

47.Five hundred million different species of living creatures have appeared on Earth, nearly 99 percent of them vanishing.

A. Five hundred million different species of living creatures have appeared on Earth,nearly 99 percent of them vanishing.

B. Nearly 99 percent of five hundred million different species of living creatures that appeared on Earth have vanished.

C. Vanished are nearly 99 percent of the five hundred million different species of living creatures that appeared on Earth.

D. Of five hundred million different species of living creatures that have appeared on Earth, nearly 99 percent of them have vanished.

E. Of the five hundred million different species of living creatures that have appeared on Earth, nearly 99 percent have vanished.

I just read through the link about all NN's discussion, in choice B, now I see that "the" should be added before "five hundred million different species" to illustrate something special.
